A compound is where the elemental components are chemically bonded at the molecular level and can only be separated with great effort (not evaporation). The liquid could have been a mixture (hard water for example; water with minerals, fluoride, calcium, salt whatever) and the dissolved minerals left behind when the liquid evaporated. However the liquid itself could be a compound (such as pure water) but the fact it left behind 'impurities' when it evaporated means it became a mixture or colloid when the impurities mixed into the liquid. So if the container was completely clean when the liquid was put in and there was no possibility of impurities being introduced from the air or other sources, it was a mixture before it evaporated.

∙ 15y agoThe answer to your question depends on what type of gas you are referring to. If the gas itself is elemental (e.g. a noble gas such as helium), then the liquid will too be an element. If the gas is a homogeneous compound (e.g. water vapour (H2O(g))), then the liquid form will to be a compound. Lastly, if the gas is a mixture (e.g. air), then the liquid will be a mixture.

- liquid oxygen, for example, an element, can evaporate leaving no residue
- water, a compound, can evaporate leaving no residue
- gasoline or petrol, can evaporate leaving no residue

Is water vapor an element a compound or a mixture?
Pure water vapor is a compound, just as liquid water is.
Is fluorine gas an element compound or mixture?
A compound is simply different elements bonded to each other, in this case tin (Sn) and two fluorine atoms (F).
Is air an element?
Air is not. It is often confused as being Oxygen, which is an element. The air we breath is made up of Oxygen and Nitrogen. So, it is made up of elements.
Is sodium chlorine a compound mixture or element?
No such substance as 'sodium chlorine'. I think you mean 'sodium chloride'. I which case it is an ionic compound. Separately , sodium(metal) is an element and chlorine(gas) is an element. They both appear in the Periodic Table. 'Mixture', does not come into question.
Is oxygen is element or compound?
Oxygen is both a compound and an element. In nature, Oxygen forms bonds with itself to form a compound consisting of two elemental oxygen atoms to form one compounded oxygen molecule. This is O2.
Is hydrogen gas an element compound or mixture?
elementHydrogen as a gas, plasma, or liquid is still an element.
Water vapor - element compound or mixture?
Water is a compound, whether a solid, liquid, or gas.
Is gas compound or mixture or a element?
Element.
Is gas an element mixture or a compound?
Argon gas is an element. It will be element only. It can be part of some mixture. But never ever be a part of the compound. It is a noble gas.
Is Argon gas a compound or mixture or a element?
Argon gas is an element. It will be element only. It can be part of some mixture. But never ever be a part of the compound. It is a noble gas.
Is argon gas an element mixture or a compound?
Argon gas is an element. It will be element only. It can be part of some mixture. But never ever be a part of the compound. It is a noble gas.
Is natural gas element or mixture or compound?
Natural gas is a mixture.
Is chlorine gas a compound element or mixture?
Element.
Is xenon gas an element or a compound or heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture?
It is an element.
Is natural gas a mixture or a compound or an element?
IT IS A MIXTURE =] dumbo!
Is water vapor an element a compound or a mixture?
Pure water vapor is a compound, just as liquid water is.
Is argon gas an element compound or mixture?
It's an element.
